Good Friday

Last night I came home from dinner and watching The Passion of the Christ with the Deans just a few minutes before midnight. Just across the street and outside my window is a historic church, San Pedro Telmo built by the Jesuits in 1733. As I was getting ready for bed, I heard singing outside. I looked outside the window and there was a fairly large crowd singing outside the church to begin Good Friday. It was a meaningful close to my mediations on the Stations of the Cross this Lent. Later this afternoon I will go back to the Deans and we will go through a portion of the Book of Common Prayer Good Friday liturgy. Tonight I will attend a Good Friday communion service at the church.

On another note, I would appreciate prayers for my grandfather who is 85. He had two intensive care hospital visits late last year and he has never fully regained his health and strength. His heart is extremely weak and has an irregular heartbeat. Most recently this last month he was fighting a bad virus, so the doctors are giving him extra attention right now. Please pray for his health and God’s strength for both him and my grandma. I know they are tired and discouraged at times.

Here are a couple pics of the church outside my window and balcony.
